Sears 53078 Refrigerator User Manual


 
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safely hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an
adapter plug However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes permit, o TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig 2) available at most local hardware stores
The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outtet to
provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
untess the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the walt outlet isgrounded through the house wiring You
should have circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand
if this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use
Should the adapter ground terminal break,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safely hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
oFan extension cord However, if you stilt elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrica! rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts
Electrical Requirements
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the
best perf'ormance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard From
overheating wires

support it when it is fully loaded
